Scuba diving in Venezuela Updated with pics
 
Has anyone done ant diving at las rocas, Margarita island or carcass? I just got certified for open water diving and I leave in 7 days to venezuela for 2 weeks. Anybody know good sites to hit?

Ok, sorry, I have to intervene. "Carcass" is a dead thing, "Caracas" is a city in Venezuela.

No idea where to dive. My family lived in Caracas before my brothers started approaching the age of conscription so they moved to Canada. Then I was born. They tell me living somewhere warm is overrated. I can only take their word for it. NO I'M NOT BITTER.

Have a good trip though!

Hey congrats on your certification. Being spoiled living on the left/wet coast I have done a number of lake dives, trust me, lake dives are boring, unless it's a wreck dive. In my opinion you will probably forget your lake dives after you dive in the big salt. If you ever get out to the coast try and get in touch with some of us divers on Canreef and maybe we can line up a group day/night dive. I love night dives. Very envious of the dive trip you have planned.
Good luck.
Keith.
